Hacker shafts are hardened, that is for sure. I guess it is better, but harder does mean more brittle...

Especially if you get a hacker without a flat spot. And if your wife asks, say you're having trouble with your new hardened shaft!

Wow, ladies and gentlemen, his name is Ian, and he will be here all night (drum roll)

I generally use the bench grinder to produce a flat area, so material is not really a concern. The harder steel does take a few passes to get to the desired depth...

I was laughing until I got to the "and gentelmen" part.
